Agreed. I enjoyed last night but Stella in particular was clearly suffering from the heat. Set list tonight was more or less the same except for MDK replacing ER. There was an instrumental that they...

Was there last night. Quite a lot of new stuff. Otherwise, it was KA Part 1 and most of ER. It was a great show after a slightly wobbly start. The vocals seemed a bit off at the start but settled...

It's bloody great. Played it three times today!

It seems that every now and again, this site decides that my registered password is not going to be recognised any more. This is despite my having it written down in a password manager and making...

Seems like a bit of a random selection. It's not even as if I have a lot of time myself for most of them but I can at least understand why they are popular. It would be interesting to hear what this...

Bloody good album this. Just rediscovering it this evening.

I had no idea The Dream Syndicate were still going. I was a fan back in the 80s. Will have to check this out...

So I own it only because I was lucky enough to get into this stuff at a time the reissue was available. That's really sad. It's a great album.

I also saw that at the time. Wasn't he introduced as "a guitarist who has played with David Bowie" or something like that?

Yep, I had another look this morning and saw it was there after all. Had come here to edit my post, but too late now! Not sure how I missed it last night. Thanks anyway!

Absolutely beautiful album IMO. It's perfect for the end of the day, accompanied by a glass of something. I just let it unfold and do its thing.

I'm possibly in the minority in preferring this...

Looking on Amazon UK tonight, they have Dai Kaht MP3s. Are these legit?

Anyway, I'd actually be interested in buying the CD. What is the best way for me to order it in the UK? You used to sell via...

Amazon is £117 today so definitely worth ordering from GAS even if price is main concern.

Funnily enough, I just had an email from a ticket agency I have an account with, advertising a 40th anniversary show at the 100 Club in London later this year.
...

My wife and I went to see Graham Nash the other night and he mentioned Joni a few times. I can't remember exactly what he said at one point but the gist was that her health is much improved these...

Thanks Calyx. Any inside knowledge about which of the dates that have been mentioned is more likely? Will I have to wait until next spring or is this September still a possibility?

My main interest is in the remastered RGI trilogy. I can't work out what the latest news is supposed to be on this. Is that the one that might be coming out in September, or is it next spring?

I enjoyed Laetitia Sadier's last solo album and a gig of hers that I caught, so I thought I'd take a look at her website this evening and see what's she's up to. And what do you know, but Stereolab...

Congratulations on your conversion!

I'm a bit late to the thread but for what it's worth my route in was Live/Hhai as an Amazon download. It was only £2 or so for some reason and I had been...

Interesting. I did get the first two Scherzoos but I haven't kept up with the later ones. Sounds like 03 at least might be right up my street.

Yep, Flöë Ëssi is a Philippe Bussonnet composition.

Listening to this CD for the first time tonight (Xmas present!) and it's bloody great! Initial impression is that its vibe is at the Setna/Xing Sa end of Zeuhl, which is no bad thing in my book.

Yep, and you were right when you suspected it was Klaus Kombalad.

Another Magma single was "Flöë Ëssi / Ëktah" but I am not sure whether it counts as it was originally released in 1998 only on CD...

Wow - thanks. Looks like I will be getting home late!

Anyone who has seen 2018 shows, I would be grateful for information on typical running times. Apologies if it's already been discussed; I just skimmed all the pages and didn't see anything.
...

^^ Thanks. I see where it says that now. Probably didn't help that I was using my phone last night.

I guess I'll hang on for the CD then, rather than getting the download now.

Anyone know where to buy the CD? Only see a download on Bandcamp. I never managed to buy the original release - it seemed to be out of print/unavailable by the time it was on my radar.

Yes, all of these.

Field Music and Dutch Uncles are a couple of examples that immediately came to mind. There was a thread on Field Music some time ago so it might be worth searching for that.

I would certainly concur with Eight Miles High and Slip Inside This House as mentioned earlier in the thread. Smell Of Incense by the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band is another favourite pysch...

As a Brit, all I can say is... I completely agree. I struggle with the UK stuff too.

Good to hear. Hopefully I'll be getting it next week.

There's a new album, "Open Here". Just came across a review in the Guardian.

As a professional C++ programmer, I had heard of him as an author long before I heard he had been in a band. In fact, he is notorious in the C++ community for writing terrible books, even if they did...

Me neither. I got into the early folky stuff many years ago and in recent years have favoured the jazzy phase. Maybe I just need to give the in-between stuff a better listen.

I'm not sure if it's...

I must admit that I'm not very familiar with Broadcast beyond having heard a few songs. They have been on my list of stuff to explore one day. The fact that you are a fan is a good recommendation and...

Ok, I may well have got it mixed up in that case. I'll have to try to dig it out over the weekend and remind myself.

This reminds me of my vinyl copy of Love's Forever Changes (an 80's European repressing) which stops suddenly at the end of one of the sides (I forget which). For years that was all I knew and I...

There is a more obvious one than this, surely (unless I missed someone else saying it): Theusz Hamtaahk!

Brilliant, thanks for that. Big fan of Coogan but was put off watching that series by the reviews. I do have the DVD waiting to be watched though so I think you have persuaded me it's time to dig it...

I'm probably a bit weird but Gaucho is one of my favourite albums of theirs.

OK, that explains it - thanks! I was completely oblivious to this.

^^Looking at that chart, I am a bit surprised to see Rick Wakeman at number six (last week too). I'm out of touch with the charts but I would have thought his chart days were long behind him....

That's a shame - I was there on the 13th! Never mind, it's a must have so I have ordered a copy direct from 7th Records.

Not sure if anyone has already mentioned this but it looks like a new Corima album is being released by Soleil Zeuhl next month. See https://corima.bandcamp.com for details. Looks like there are some...

Well your wish came true, and what a rendition it was!

You are right about Cadogan Hall. I had been aware of the Barbican show but I had only just started listening to Magma and, with family commitments and all that, I didn't take the plunge. After that...

I don't know but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Theusz Hamtaahk as it's one of my favourites and I've never heard it live before. Having said that, I've only seen Magma twice before so really...

Fantastic news!

Just wondered if anyone had caught either of the two Magma shows in the UK this week, or is planning to go to any of the remaining ones. I haven't managed to find any reviews so far. I'm going to the...

Yeah! And then followed by tracks by Aquaserge and Cardiacs! Great programme.

Dronne arrived today and I'm listening to it for the first time as I type. Beautiful stuff - I think I'm really going to like this one.

Yeah sorry. I just noticed you had already explained this to someone else. I should have continued reading!

Sorry, I'm a bit late to this but I'm curious: why do you have to copy it to your computer drive? Why not just plug the external drive in and access the music from there?

I still haven't managed to see them. I've been keeping an eye out for the last two or three years to see if they were playing somewhere near me. Then I took my eye off the ball and earlier this year...

I had the same experience - I heard that on the radio and bought the album on the strength of it (believe it or not, although I have owned various King Crimson albums for decades, I wasn't familiar...

^^
Oops! Sorry - just noticed Guitar Geek already tried that one earlier.

Did anyone answer the first one? Is Magma too obvious? I cheated and found an interview on Calyx's site where Pierre Moerlen mentioned that he had been in Magma for a few months.

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I haven't known where to start with the various compilations so thanks for those, Conti.

SS, I quite liked last year's (?) Aquaserge album so I'll look out for...
